My 8 wk old ds has been sleeping in a bassinet since birth. I put him in a pack-n-play the other night and he is so wiggly he wiggled all around the pack-n-play in his sleep and kept sliding up to the side. I wanted to get a sleep positioner but have heard they are a SIDS risk. Any BTDT? What did you do? I'm moving him into his crib in a week or so and am now really nervous. TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

pack-n-play is not sids proof and baby should not be sleeping in one for long periods. As far as I've read positioners aren't actually sids proof either. Just keep him in bassinet. [ Reply | More

I think technically, not until after sids risk is over, age 1. They all state it very plainly on their literature. The travel cribs look like a pack and play are slightly smaller (probably other differences too), but they are sids certified. I probably wouldn't worry too much after 9 months, but there is no way I would let 8w old sleep in one. [ Reply | More

just the testing. They need to certify that it doesn't contribute to sids. and that it is safe when not watched. pack-n-plays always say in the disclaimer not to leave child unattended, because they don't do as much testing. [ Reply | More

ds doesn't like being swaddled. we haven't swaddled him since he was 2 wks old. that's why he's wiggling everywhere. [ Reply | More

so what's the danger, that he will hurt his head on the side of the crib? or just won't fall asleep? or what? (expecting #2 now, dont remember anything from #1... trying to plan too) [ Reply | More
